Syria’s anti-regime rebels have made significant advances, claiming to have reached “the gates of Damascus” just a day after launching an offensive in the southern Daraa region. The rebel Free Syrian Army group announced their fighters are now positioned at the outskirts of the Syrian capital, marking a swift territorial gain.
The offensive in Daraa, initiated early Friday by the southern Syrian rebels, has rapidly resulted in the capture of territory in the southern countryside. The rebels' progress now places them only a few miles away from the city center, indicating a notable shift in the conflict dynamics.
